OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

use distance formula..... first locate the two end points

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

For A (-3,4) B(5,-2)

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

x1=-3, y1=4 x2=5 , y2=-2 now put in distance formula

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

distance formula got it @a535 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d=√(5--3)+(-2-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d=√(5--3)^2+(-2-4)^2

HI!!

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

yes you are right @a535

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i would not write \(5--3\) instead put \(5+3\)

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):
